Farmer Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Wife was in a car accident this morning. An 88 year old man ran a light and t- boned her at the driver side. Good news is, she fine. bruised and beat up, but no major injuries. Our only family vehicle is totaled. I get pics later Larry Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Ouch man. At least she's okay. What kind of car was she in? Hopefully it's taken care of without incident. Quote Link to comment

Laecaon Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Hope nothing develops over time, and it is just merely bumps and bruises. To speedy recovery! Quote Link to comment

dennis Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Glad she is ok for now, just wait till tomorrow when she wakes up. Old people driving scare the crap out of me, the other day I was next to an old lady who was speeding and tail-gating. 1 Quote Link to comment

Farmer Posted November 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Guy got cited for failure to obey traffic Control device. He definitely was going over the speed limit. I doubt there would be that much damage doing 25 mph. Larry Quote Link to comment
sinner720st Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 thank god it was an astro van, and not a slammed 620 or dime. being above bumper level helps a lot for safety Quote Link to comment

HRH Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 It's amazing how the state can issue driver's licenses but can't take them away easily for just being old. Personally I think you should have to pass a driving test every 20 years, and in the car, not just a bs 20 question. My grandpa did a number on a few vehicles before he died, and there wasn't much we could do about it. We drove him as much as we could, but he was still independent and in his own house. I know how those old dogs think. They may have good ideas, but by the time they figure out what to do, wham! My grandpa used to stop in the middle of the road if he couldn't figure out which way to go. Literally stop. He did that with me in the car once and I about shit a brick. Now that he's passed, no more horror stories. Glad your wife is okay. Also glad it wasn't a Datsun. Thinking about door bars pre-roll cage now. :huh: Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 HRH is this how you really feel ? :huh: Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Glad to hear everything's alright. Hope she recovers well. I'd make sure and get as much medical care/physical therapy as I could, taken care of, of course, by the old man's insurance. Don't let her get away with, "I feel fine". That shit causes issues further down the road. Believe me, I know. On a side note.. what's the hell is that!? Is that yours? You know what I'm talkin' about.. the blue one :fu: Quote Link to comment
